Should You Play Queen of Hearts Right Now?

Queen of Hearts is a $5 scratch-off. The ROI is -32.4%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $3.38 in prize value. All top prizes have been claimed — focus on lower tiers if you're still interested. Among the 18 active $5 games in Ohio, Queen of Hearts ranks #13 by expected value. If you're looking for the best value at this price point, also consider Set For Life ($4.17 EV) and $25, $50 or $250 ($3.65 EV).

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Queen of Hearts ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x Set For Life ($2) + 1x Holiday Cash ($1). This combination delivers $3.53 in expected value compared to $3.38 for the single ticket — a 4.3% improvement. It also gives you a 53.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 23.8% with the single ticket.
